Are there (decent) authors out there who've posted a novel-length fic over the space of more than a year?
Yeah. Carrie, "Take Your Time", took two years, as I recall.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

You mean, it's taken a year for the whole thing to be posted?
Yes. This describes a fic-in-progress. I've been working on it when I can, which isn't often, I'm afraid.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Feldman's writing a Farscape/Changing Rooms crossover. I cannot wait.

That'll be interesting. I wonder whose rooms will get redone, and by whom. Or, will certain decorators, carpenters, etc. find themselves far, far from home?

Um. That would be me. If a story-series counts. "Life During Wartime" totals over 500K by now, I think, and started in fall of 1999. Marasmus & I posted a 250K chunk this week, and there are three more stories in the works.
Although the feedback's been thin enough I wonder if anyone is going to be around to read the finale. t shrugs

I'm not sure how long Career Change has taken. It's going to go into next year, I know.
edit: If it even counts. I see it as one over-arcing story with episodes

Apparently I'm the first person to notice this?
The Guardian has an article on HP fic today. Also references Buffy, Xena, & Trekfic, and provides the mandatory link to FF.net.
Wonder if the writer of the article knew about the plagiarism issue that's tarnished the writer they chose to focus on... probably not. ::shrugs::

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, that article sucks. "Scottie"? "Dr. Spock"?

I'm a bit annoyed since I know for a fact that someone on the Grauniad's editorial staff has a deep and multi-fandom knowledge of fanfic. Clearly she was not consulted for this article. t shrugs
I'm gonna have to poke her.
